I feel the Rivian is comparable to my Tesla in terms of noise, the difference seems to the type of noise and where the noise comes from though. That said, neither are silent luxury cruisers that isolate you from the world.So just watched this R1S review where she points out cabin noise that does not exist in a Model X. That sounds very unfortunate when dropping $80k+.
Anyone that has experience with both vehicles have same feedback?
Her biggest fans are Tesla owners... do you expect her to be unbiased? IMHO... I wouldn't even call a model X a SUV... a crossover maybe.Saw the same video. I would just say, everyone is different in their concerns and opinions. I would suggest driving both and make your own assessment. I am NOT taking the advice of a 4th grader when it comes to any vehicle purchases. Hell, at one point someone said there wasn't enough leg room in the vehicle. Just make your own assessment based on what you discover. It does make sense that if the air compressor is inside the R1S and outside of the R1T, its natural to hear some noise. Just my 2 cents.
Would make sense if that were the case but it is not. The air compressor fitting for inflating tires, etc is inside the cabin in the R1S (not sure about the compressor itself) but this is not the same compressor used for the suspension and I am 99.999% certain that the compressor for the suspension is NOT inside the passenger cabin. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.It does make sense that if the air compressor is inside the R1S and outside of the R1T, its natural to hear some noise. Just my 2 cents.
It is under the enclosed passenger space whereas in the T it will be under the bed and away from the enclosed passenger compartmentWould make sense if that were the case but it is not.
